This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site award to the University of California – Irvine, located in Irvine, CA, supports eight students for ten weeks of research and professional development during the summers of 2020-2022. This site, funded by the Division of Chemistry in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate, helps students develop collaboration, communication, and critical thinking skills as well as experimental and computational techniques in chemistry. Alongside education and professional development, students also undertake independent research projects spanning chemistry. The program provides an opportunity to interact with mentors and peers in both professional and social environments that have been designed to increase students’ knowledge and research skills and increase their identities as scientists.Students participate in research projects with state-of-the-art equipment and facilities, and are mentored by faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students. Projects include the molecular modeling of structural proteins, developing bioluminescent probes for in vivo imaging, studying the optical properties of particulate air pollutants, and integrating machine learning with organic synthesis. Students also attend workshops and seminars designed for their professional development, including ethics training, graduate school and fellowship application preparation, and communication skills. REU students interact with other on-campus summer research programs and graduate school preparation programs during shared and crossover activities including conferences, seminars, and symposia. Students leave the program well-prepared to present their results at scientific meetings and to continue with graduate studies.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

在2020 - 2022年夏季，这项授予位于加利福尼亚州欧文市的加利福尼亚大学的本科生（REU）网站奖（REU）网站奖，为八名学生提供了十周的研究和专业发展。该网站由数学和物理科学局的化学部门资助，可帮助学生发展合作，沟通和批判性思维能力，以及化学方面的实验和计算技术。除了教育和专业发展外，学生还从事化学的独立研究项目。该计划提供了与专业和社交环境中的导师和同伴互动的机会，这些专业和社交环境旨在提高学生的知识和研究技能，并提高其作为科学家的身份。学生参与了具有最先进的设备和设施的研究项目，并受到教师，博士后学院的指导。项目包括结构蛋白的分子建模，为体内成像开发生物发光问题，研究特定空气污染物的光学特性以及将机器学习与有机合成整合。学生还参加专为专业发展而设计的研讨会和半岛，包括道德培训，研究生院和团契申请准备以及沟通技巧。 REU学生在共享和交叉活动中与其他校园内研究计划和研究生院的准备计划进行互动，包括会议，半手级和研讨会。学生将该计划做好准备，以在科学会议上呈现他们的结果并继续研究生研究。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准被认为是通过评估来获得的支持。
